soooooo, as I mentioned in an earlier post (maybe a couple weeks ago), Daryl Morey never sleeps...
everyone in Houston knew he was working on getting a PG...you can't land Curry or Westbrook or any other top shelf All-Star/MVP type of PG, but you can definitely improve over what you currently have....
that brings me to the signing of Ty Lawson...
Ty Lawson has had 4 DUI arrests in the last 5 or 6 years - two of which came within the last 6.5 months...
Ty Lawson was ranked third in the league in assists last year with 9.5 while playing for a very bad team...
Ty Lawson is probably one of the two fastest PG's in the league with the ball in their hands and can protect it with great passion (turnovers are at an extreme minimum)...
Ty Lawson shoots the 3 @ 36-37%, but with the Rockets' inside-out-offense, he will get much better looks...
before this trade, the Rockets had fallen out of a top 4 spot in my opinion (EVENTHOUGH they made it to the WCF being down 2 key starters and with 2 backup PG's starting that were 37 and 38 years old)...
there is a major concern with Ty's health - he literally has an alcohol problem, which is dangerous...
if it's not treated, he is putting his NBA career and his life in jeopardy.
my buddies and I always talk about what the Rockets need - I tell them, find a PG that can protect the ball and average 8 or 9 assists game...
looks like we found that guy, but the potential for it to be a bust is there...if he can get cleaned up, there shouldn't be any reason why the Rockets can't get back to the WCF, if everyone stays healthy...
good thing though is that Daryl Morey is the epitome of genius NBA GM - he landed Ty for a half bitten hotdog and an Oakley Lanyard...
if he doesn't pan out, we lose nothing...if he pans out and leads the team with 10 assists per game, then Morey's legend grows even more....
